_The California of to-day and the California of yesterday with its
picturesque story, are set forth in this book by the one writer who
could bring to it the skill united with that love for the task of a
Californian-born, Gertrude Atherton. This story of California covers the
varied history of the state from its earliest geological beginnings down
to the California of 1915._ Illustrated
